North Pole, AK


Costs too High - 4/14/2008
I have lived in North Pole, a suburb of Fairbanks for over 5 years. In that time my fuel bill has increased dramatically. I paid $270 per month in 2003. Today I pay $815 per month. Unless your income is at least $50,000 per year with no debts or mortgage payment, it is very very difficult to make ends meet. Although I am retired military, the pay is not sufficient to survive on. I am seriously considering selling my home this year or next and move to a lower cost area in the lower 48. Any suggestions?? I have no family or relatives in the lower 48. I will definitely miss the beautiful scenery summer and winter. However, winters are a little too harsh for my liking. MK.
